Take A Long Line Tab

by Angels





Song: Take A Long Line
By: Angels
Album: Their Finest Hour...and then some

[A]This is it folks, over the top

He was selling post cards from a paper stand
A whiskey bottle in his withered hand
He put his finger on a photo from an old magazine
Saw himself in the shadow of a dream
Running with his head inside a juke-box crown
Told him his feet stank and took him downtown
Called him agitator, spy and thief
Shut him up solitary third degree

Chorus:
[]Take  []long []line
[E]Take a [D]long [E]line x 2
[] []With []him

He tried to appeal to the king of might
He said I'm just exercisin' my sacred right
The king he said you ain't got no rights
You're a mad, bad traitor get outta my sight

Chorus
Bass rises rather than decending at end:
[] []With []him

Break:
[]x2 [] [] [][]
[]x2 [] [] [][]

Running with his head inside a juke-box crown
Told him his feet stank and took him downtown
Called him agitator, spy and thief
Shut him up solitary third degree

Well they put him up boy, a world-wide whirlwind
Pulled out his teeth and they told him to grin
He gave them a smile, pulled out a bottle of wine
He said I never existed you been wasting your time

Chorus x 2

[]Take  []long []line
[]Take  []long []line
[E]Take a [D]long, long, long [E]line
With [A]him
